Hi and welcome to D-A-L

are you using IE?

Go to Veiw......Text size and have a look what the text size is set at

it is set to smaller.

has this problem been there all the time or has it just started to happen, have you had any hardware software changes

I think it is the DPI setting

CD

Just installed XP Professional. and it seems that the DPI setting is set at 96 which is normal. I can't adjust it to smaller setting

Thanks

when you go Display >> Setting was is the Screen Resolution?

I had the same issue on my PC when installing XP Pro, it sound like the display drivers have not been installed, try going on to the microsoft website and download the correct driver, and then you should be able to change the size of the icons and the colour palette from 16 to 24 to 32bit colour in the settings, and the screen resolution aswell.
